Crayons, a private firm, is handling the creative aspect. The N-Deal ad, however, will be cleared by the high command," said a party source.

The N-Deal ad, in fact, was supposed to be the first in a series of advertisements highlighting the Congress government's achievements at the Centre and city. "This particular advertisement will be modified for all the states that go to polls," said a party source.

The party was so far going slow on publicity and Congress leaders were getting restive.

The first official Congress advertisement was released on Tuesday with the slogan — Cannot afford to stop progress — highlighting the Sheila Dikshit-led government's achievement in the field of school and higher education.
